Flat Removals in Colne

Shop-top flats on the ridge and split terraces below it

Flats above town-centre shops, along Market Street and the streets off it, often have their own door at street level and a straight, narrow flight behind it. Beds and wardrobes usually need to come apart to get down, and the loading restrictions on the ridge mean the van may stand a little further off than you would like. We check the frontage and the nearest legal stopping point before the day, not on it.

Converted terraces in the North Valley and along Colne Water are the other common flat. The upstairs half shares a hallway with the downstairs neighbour, so a quiet word with them about the time of the move helps. A one-bed flat's furniture and boxes often go in a single load in a Transit with 3.4m of floor, so a small Colne flat usually goes in a single trip. A bigger flat, or one with a lot of books and kitchen things, may need two loads, which we will tell you from the room list.

Stairs, parking and timing for a flat in Colne

• Beds and existing flat-pack wardrobes are taken apart and put back together at the new flat
• Over a Market Street or Albert Road shop, say whether your flat door is on the main street or round the side, as the front carries loading restrictions
• In a split terrace down the North Valley, agree the time with the downstairs neighbour, because the hallway and the front door are shared
• To suspend marked bays on the street, apply to Lancashire County Council well ahead and check their current notice period
• Tell us the floor, the width of the stair and any tight turn at the top when you send photos
